Toto Wolff admitted he feels "uncomfortable" discussing contract terms with Lewis Hamilton.
The seven-time world champion's current deal expires at the end of this season and so thrashing out a new deal is on the Mercedes team principal's to-do list. But if his latest update on the situation is anything to go by, then the Austrian is clearly not enjoying that responsibility.
As has been the case every time Hamilton has neared the end of a contract, the rumour mill has been very active. Some have suggested that the 38-year-old might be ready to end his Formula 1 racing career while others have linked him with the likes of Ferrari and McLaren.
